We stayed here for 3 nights and it was the perfect place to stay in Bangkok. We were more interested in the history of the city and the temples, rather than the night life, and so this room was perfect as it is a short walk to the palace and Wat Pho temple (the reclining Buddha.)
We used taxis through the Grab app (cheap taxi fares,) to get to the closest metro (15 mins away) and then it was really easy to get to other areas of the city. Although the metro is quite far, we really enjoyed staying in this area as we could wander to the river and there were lots of nice restaurants/bars overlooking the temples across the river.
